# Doesn't work… again

 * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-again/)
 * New fresh WP 4.2.3 installation.
    List of plugins: Akismet, Tiny MCE Advanced,
   Types (all last versions).
 * Install the plugin, try to import a regular .xml export with standard posts and
   pages.
 * The First message from the Import screen (Logs):
 *  Warning: Illegal offset type in C:\wamp\www\genesis\wp-content\plugins\wp-advanced-
   importer\includes\WPAdvImporter_includes_helper.php on line 643
 * This is the first thing I get from the very plugin screen.
 * The second message from the “Logs” is:
 * “The user – “xxxxxxx” – has been created.”
 * Since the plugin gave me the option in the first place, I specifically told the
   plugin to assign every imported post/page to an existing user. Why is this happening
   then?
 * Then it starts importing, but with every file there’s a message saying:
 * “Atomic Race – Doubledeck 3.0 Ramp Tech – SkiReviewer is already exist”
 * The item that “is already exist” (brilliant expression) is an image that of course
   doesn’t “already exist” because this is a new empty WordPress installation.
 * This happens with every single post and page.
 * Next, time for several “is already exist” messages with no other information 
   rather than this enigmatic weird expression. No clue on what those messages are
   talking about.
 * And then, the Grand Finale: WP Advanced Importer Plugin says “Import Complete”.
   But it hasn’t imported ANYTHING. Not a single byte.
 * Now, I think you have enough 1-star reviews, so I’ll wait.
    I know this is a 
   free plugin etc, but this can’t continue. You’re supposed to be a Company with
   serious Premium/Commercial products. How can users trust you?
